Our sympathies go out to all the family. Tommy was such a great guy, always had a smile for everyone he met, and such a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed, but he will always be remembered by everyone.
Tommy Joe, I will miss you’re mischievous smile and sense of humor. You always made us laugh and enjoy your company. I know you will be just as entertaining in Heaven? May the angels sing as the havens welcome you into the arms of God. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
Tim, may all your memories be good ones. With all sympathy...
I am so sorry for your loss and I pray God will comfort you all as only he can during this time. We will miss Tommy Joe alot. He has done alot for us over the years and we are grateful to have known him. My drive to moms will not be the same without him waving at me from the porch or stopping me on the road to chat.
I can hardly express how much I will miss this guy. He was a good guy and even though I have only known him about 4 years, I enjoyed knowing him. My sympathy to the family and Geraldine.
Geraldean and Family you are in my thoughts through this difficult time.
Gerri, We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Rely on the good memories and God's love to get your through the hard days ahead. As the song in the tribute said, "he is Safe in the arms of Jesus."
Sending love and prayers to you and the family.
